[quote=Anonymous]DP. I am not a publicly-friendly person by nature but I make a point to be friendly, especially in my neighborhood and especially when I'm out with my kids. Most people are friendly, particularly to my kids. Without exception, older people are always friendlier than younger people. We frequently encounter homeless people in our neighborhood. How we interact with them really depends on the situation. If there's a man sitting on a bench yelling at people or to himself, I won't say anything as we pass. If the person is sitting quietly, I'll usually look at them and nod my head and smile. If they ask for money, I'll respond to them. They are people, too, and I feel that it's important to acknowledge them instead of ignoring them. But I won't engage with someone who appears to be having a mental health issue, especially not when my kids are with me.[/quote]
